Abstract: A stereoscopic camera includes left and right camera lenses associated with respective left and right camera sensors. The alignment of the left and right camera lenses is shifted relative to their respective image sensors. Additionally, shifting the alignment of the camera lenses relative to one another alters the interaxial distance between the lenses. The interaxial distance is adjustable, or fixed, between 58 mm and 74 mm. Realignment of the lenses causes at least one, or both, of the lenses' optical axis to be off-center of the lenses' respective sensor. A region of interest is determined for each image sensor where each lens overlaps its respective image sensor. Based on the determined region of interest, unused portions of an image sensor readout are discarded.

Abstract: During a live event, one or more cameras capture audiovisual data and provide the captured audiovisual data via one or more data feeds. The one or more data feeds are downscaled to a lower resolution and presented on a graphical user interface (GUI). One or more production selections are made related to the one or more data feeds via the GUI by a video editor to create a broadcast stream of the live event. A presentation track is created based on the one or more production selections made by the video editor. The presentation track is streamed to a user's device as a data feed and is used to re-create the broadcast stream of the live event. The user's device, based on the presentation track, obtains media streams from the one or more cameras at the captured resolution.

Abstract: In one implementation, a camera includes an image sensor including a plurality of sensor elements at a respective plurality of first image sensor locations. The camera includes a controller to receive, from the image sensor, a plurality of sensor values indicative of a characteristic of light impinging on the plurality of sensor elements and generate, based on the plurality of sensor values, an image file including a plurality of pixels having a respective plurality of pixel values, wherein the plurality of pixels are associated with a respective plurality of pixel locations that represent a respective plurality of second image sensor locations. The plurality of second image sensor locations are within a circle and the image file does not include a pixel having a pixel location representing an image sensor location outside the circle and within a square in which the circle is inscribed.
